Once you know the habits of the gardenia, caring for it can actually be very simple

People who love flowers, trees and bonsai are all people of refined taste!

The gardenia has luxuriant branches and leaves, with foliage that stays evergreen all year round, making it an important ornamental plant for courtyards.

1. Habits

It likes a humid, warm environment with plenty of light and good ventilation, but dislikes intense direct sunlight. It is best planted in loose, fertile, well-drained acidic soil. (If it is too hot in summer, it can be placed indoors in a well-ventilated spot with good light; in winter it should not be kept outdoors either. The pH value can be adjusted appropriately with vinegar.)

2. Propagation

It can be propagated by cuttings, layering, division or sowing. For cutting propagation, you can choose a branch about as thick as a chopstick and 20 cm long, keep one or two leaves, and insert it into a moisture-retaining growing medium; this is an easy type to root, and interested flower lovers can give it a try.

3. Pruning

The gardenia grows relatively fast, and when its branches and leaves are luxuriant it can easily become so dense that air cannot circulate, so promptly removing the excess branches is very necessary.

4. Fertilizing

The gardenia grows vigorously, so fertilizing during the vigorous growing season is also essential. Fertilizers can be soybean cake, sesame paste residue, peanut bran, etc.

Key words for caring for the gardenia:

Acidic, cuttings, loves water, loves fertilizer, sun protection, frost protection
